XFX RX 5700 XT Thicc III FPS issue

[chuckM]

Using a 50 inch vizio 4k tv and it seems like all my games get only 30 fps max and I get major stutter. Cinebench15 says I get near 200 fps. I'm confused and feel like I just wasted 0ver $400 on a bad video card. Am I missing something? Previously had an RX 590 Red Devil and I never had this issue.

Even something like CS:GO runs poorly?

Does it score normally in firestrike as well?

Did you already try reinstalling windows? It's usually the quickest solution for software issues.
 

a new driver just came out as well.

CSGO is giving me 250 FPS but i go through walls and floors and cant walk no place

I ran firestrike and i'm getting a max of 65 FPS

I'm running Driver 19.12.2

Diablo 3 gives me only 30 FPS

I know some TV's have a problem with really high FPS, since nothing a TV usually displays is a high FPS. Video games, movies, TV series are all usually down in the 24's.. Maybe 30.

 

I had an old Hanspree 37" LCD TV that took suicide whenever it got a 60 FPS image, lol.

 

Do you have a regular computer monitor you can give it a go on?

I only have the 50 inch 4k

Wait what?

Probably just throw a fresh copy of windows on it if you haven't already

 

Can also make an ubuntu USB, and run Steam under Linux to see if it's a windows issue.

The TV shouldn't have any effect on your fps.

 

Do you have V-sync enabled? Or other fps limiters?

Previously had the RX 590 - did you DDU and reinstall all drivers?

Yes like 4 times, had so many issues just getting the driver to install right

Are you trying to run those games at like crazy high settings or something? I've no idea why there would only be issues in some games.

[chuckM]

Seems like no matter what settings I do its low frames especially Diablo 3 and tom clancy the division 2. CSGO gets good frames. cinebench gets like 198 to 210 fps but seems to get lower every time i run  it

I guess your GPU could just be overheating a ton or something when it's put under a heavier load

 

probably just return/exchange the card if linux doesn't fix it either. Maybe try a different model

 

Are you on the latest motherboard bios?

[Whiro]

Did you even have a look what’s your temps?

This screams out at me too... can you clarify what this actually means to you?

It should install drivers fine on a well balanced cared for system... (if the GPU is also nonfaulty)

I returned the RX 5700 XT back to XFX . After much trial and error the issues could not be resolved. Screen going black during gaming and sometimes crashing the computer. I went ahead and replaced it with an RTX 2060 Super. I have had no issues and my computer is smooth as butter. You know , now that I think of it the RX card jacked my cpu temps to running at 50° c. Now my computer is running at 28° c.

5700 cards and drivers are known to have massive issues. 

 

I kinda feel it's too late in the cycle for that ever to change.

 

This also will further contribute to the fact many people prefer NV simply because of reliability and usability... 

 

AMD always has some kind of "Nvidia killer" out but it never materializes in real world performance.  Not everyone is Gamernexus who can probably overclock tomatoes to run circles around Nvidia

XFX 5700 (non XT) and after installing latest AMD drivers and utilizing the individual game settings (Not Adrenaline), zero issues with Diablo 3, Star Trek BC VR, Dr. Who VR, Witcher 3, World of Warships, The Division 2, Assassins Creed Unity, WoW, Elite Dangerous and Superhot VR. Now, I'm still having weird issues with 'Onward' VR with it giving me a double display but I'm currently working with a dev regarding the problem (this seems to be happening to other Onward players too since an update) 

 

I've found that games optimized for NVidia GPU's seem to have issues if you attempt to set fps limits, use vsync or 'boost' through AMD's GPU suite.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm reading that the majority of the issues are related to the XT version?

I must be lucky with my 5700XT, i switched from a R9 280X which also had no problems with drivers and worked fine.

I truly wanted the AMD card to be good. I had wanted everything to be at 7nm in my chassis. Last thing I wanted is to return the card. I really wanted the AMD card to work great. Just not stupid enough to buy the same thing and expect different results. On a better note, My 3600x is great. I just wish AMD would put out a better , stable card in which the drivers work proper. I love this RTX 2060 Super. Not sure if the RT thing improves how games look enough to justify a performance hit. Tried Shadow of the Tomb Raider with DLSS on and It really isnt all that special. At least the card is stable and the drivers work
